[Ab] [Db] [Dbm] [Ab]
[Db] [Bb] [Ab]
I could tell he'd had a tough life [Ebm] by the way he sat and stared
[Db] And me, I'd come to push and shove, [Ab] so I pulled up a chair
We talked of roads untraveled, [Ebm] we talked of love untrue
[Db] Of strains that come [Ab] unraveled, we were kings and kindred fools
[Bbm] And just when I'd hit bottom, [Ab] that old man [Eb] raised his glass
[Bbm] And said, at least we've had our chances, [Ab] there's those who [Eb] never have
[Db] So here's to [Eb] all the soldiers [Ab] who have [Eb] ever [Fm] died in vain
[Db] The [Bbm] insane [Eb] locked up in themselves, [Ab] the homeless down on [Bbm] May
[Db] To those who [Eb] stand on empty [Cm] shores and spin [Db] against the wind
And [Ab] those who [Db] wait forever for ships that [Ab] don't come [Db] in
[Bb] [Ab] They said it's only life's illusion [Ebm] that bring us to this bar
To [Db] pick up these old crutches [Ab] and compare to the scars
Cause the things we're calling heartaches, [Ebm] hell, they're hardly [Gb] worth our time
[Db] We bitch about a dollar when [Ab] there's those without a dime
[Bbm] And as he ordered one last round, he [Ab] said, I guess we [Eb] can't complain
[Bbm] God made life a gamble, [Ab] and we're still [Eb] in the game
[Db] So here's to [Eb] all the soldiers [Ab] who have [Eb] ever [Fm] died in vain
[Bbm] The insane [Eb] locked up in [Ab] themselves, the homeless down on [Bbm] May
